WHAT WE DO: OhioGuidestone helps those who are hurting improve their lives with our impactful behavioral health services, which are delivered by compassionate people across Ohio. Headquartered in Berea, OhioGuidestone not only has offices in 37 counties, but can also serve throughout the state, via our telehealth services. Our services are particularly focused on children, adults and families who experience mental illness and substance use disorders, as we connect them with accessible, convenient and effective care. In addition, we offer counseling in the community, as well as in homes, offices and schools, while also providing counseling, via telehealth.

Our care services include residential housing and residential treatment options too, while our foster care services connect families with children and support foster parents throughout the process. Additionally, our workforce development programming serves teens and young adults in under-resourced neighborhoods, thereby helping them gain skills and meaningful employment. Research and innovation are at the center of our care too. OhioGuidestone’s research department — as well as our Institute of Family & Community Impact — focus on research that can be applied directly to families’ everyday lives, as well as the work that mental health and family professionals do.

COVID RESPONSE: Due to the pandemic, our patients required creative care options, and we delivered. OhioGuidestone retooled and developed a seamless telehealth system, which half of our clients throughout the state still enjoy to this day. We already had a telehealth system in place prior to the pandemic, but it was improved and refined with modern applications, allowing those in need to connect easily with our caregivers. While in-person fundraising was on hiatus in 2020 and into 2021, we have been inspired by donors who came back with renewed purpose. Our now-live events have seen record-breaking participation, thus showing the power of the resiliency.

FUNDRAISING EVENTS: This year’s Promise Run, held at Wallace Lake in May, raised more than $72,000. With over 300 walkers and runners, the event showed that people were ready to get out and give of themselves. In October, OhioGuidestone hosted the Expressive HeARTS Art Show in Maumee. The event featured art that was created by Northwest Ohio clients in our Expressive Arts program. Contributing artists include clients in recovery, families belonging to grief support groups and children confronting Fetal Alcohol Spectrum disorders (FASD).

The annual Evolution Gala is set for September 23, 2023, at Cleveland Public Auditorium. Blue Technologies will be the presenting sponsor and corporate honoree.
